Chapters

In fact, most of the time they are really being genuine and they really are going to try, but they could be fooling themselves, right? So it's not even about, are they going to try? Because maybe they're going to try, but maybe they don't really have a good idea about what they really need to do in order to make this problem go away. So it could be a totally genuine try and it still not work. That's why I say you can't keep yourself caught up in the madness of constantly trying to figure out, are they lying to me? Are they lying to themselves? Am I Being a pushover here? Am I enabling if I do this? You're just confusing the decision. This decision should be made based on where you're at emotionally, not based on whether or not you think they're lying or deceiving or manipulating you or they're genuine. None of that stuff. Giving them another chance and deciding your boundaries, whatever that another chance means, whether that's like your partner and you're stay in the relationship, whether that's your child and it's like keep helping them, or your brother or your sister, whatever that give another chance means to you, it really should be about you and not about them.
